Dear Representative,

in Eidomeni, Greece, on the border with Macedonia, you queue for anything.
For a piece of bread, for some water, to go to the bathroom.
In the mud, in the cold, in the pouring rain.

The conditions are extreme, outrageous and those who pay the price are always the youngest, the weakest.
We wonder why during these months of catastrophic humanitarian disaster you have never found half a day to go there.
Or to Lesbos where every day children drown.
Or to Athens which has turnt into a refugee camp.

We are writing asking you to remedy as soon as possible, to give meaning and dignity to your institutional role, to intervene with all the means available on the Commission and the European Parliament for the immediate opening of humanitarian corridors and take a clear position condemning the closure of the Balkan route.
